Be'er Sheva Park Improvements

Updated: May 16, 2019

Spring 2019

The next stage of the design process, design development, has begun. Watch this space for upcoming meetings and events!

The schematic design is complete. In September 2018 the Rainier Beach Link2Lake Open Space Steering Committee applied for more Neighborhood Matching funds to complete the construction documents for the new Be'er Sheva Park. Fundraising is ongoing to fund the park construction.

After the completion of the schematic plan a party was held at the park. To clarify the design the landscape architect marked future elements on the ground and then walked groups of people around the site while pointing out the locations on the plan. This helped people understand what they were looking at.
